The answer given above for diffused lighting is the key. Set it up with a sheet or something and mount the camera on a tripod. That will make a big difference. I also use a remote shutter release. You don't need a lot of bright light for a static object like that. The big problem is going to...

"We screwed the other guy to pass the savings onto you!"

You pay full retail? They're cheaper by the case.

I hope that you don't get arrested for theft. Taking anything off of their property is a dangerous game.

A hoax, but this one is for real. Men especially need to be wary. A couple of beautiful young gals approach you in the parking lot saying that their friend got mad and ran off, leaving stranded and could you give them a ride a couple of miles down the road. Then when they get in, one pulls a...

I think it's just a matter of time before the lowballers are victims of their own fate, one way or another. This is just another way.

I do large unwieldy pieces with a hand held circular saw with a cheapo metal type blade, the stamped out one with all the tiny teeth. The edges don't need to be absolutely perfectly straight since they go in cabinets. Otherwise they go on the cabinet saw table with a carbide triple grind tooth...

Can I get a green card?

You get someone to run the video camera, (take your shirt off if you're wearing one) pull out your tacticool knife and say "Hold my beer, watch this..."

Check the state laws first. You could get arrested if it's considered their property at that point. That's how it is here. Small claims is usually the better way to go. Bailing out of jail and having an arrest record would make a bad dream into a nightmare.

^^^+100 If you want to get fancy about it for art's sake, you can use a 2 part primer. I've had great success with Transtar's 2k acrylic urethane primer. Even painted my motorcycle with it. They have a sandable and non-sandable version.

It's great that the bank is getting involved on your behalf. They'll send a crew out to bust her kneecaps. All this fuss is over the pink vinyl that she picked out? I think maybe the realization that it would fade hit home but it isn't your problem, well, maybe some extra time anyway. She's...

Hire a contractor?

Some "homeless" folks do quite well. One guy called into a talk show and said he pulled in about 40g a year. His wife had a good paying job and wasn't happy with the way he made his living and eventually his conscious got the best of him and he went back to work. Many are hurting though but...

God, please let this be on Judge Judy.....

I'd invite them both over and hold a machete over the boards and threaten to cut them in half! See which one cries for mercy. That's the rightful owner.

I tell them that there are too many options that effect the price and they would need to come in. A few do and I almost always end up doing the job. One guy said he didn't want to waste the gas so I said that I didn't want to waste my time. I'm seeing more and more of this stuff, people are...

How is ADT being pushy? He's the moving and wanting to break the agreement. I personally would not sign up for 5 years, but that was the deal.

Good for you, but you said earlier: "...all of the Black has shrunk, leaving adhesive residue around the letters that has attracted dirt. The Black behind the yellow letters has also split in some places."

You are one lucky guy indeed. They could have made you absorb the cost for the redo.
